trimming text!

[vbnow]

I use to use this code to trim spaces like back spacing in vb6:

 

varlenght = Len(txtKeypad.Text) - 1

txtKeypad = Left(txtKeypad.Text, varlenght)

 

This does not work in vb.net.

Any suggestions please!!!

 

Thanks!

That ought to work fine, although you can now use the Length and SubString methods of the String class.

RE: Trimming text!

 

still does not work!

 

vb.net does not recognize "left" in the above code.

Then try the other thing I suggested.

I am not 100% sure, but

I think that in vb.net

to use the left function you have to use it like this.....

 

Microsoft.Visualbasic.left(xxxxx,x,x)

 

Anystring.Substring seems to be a better way to do this.

Try this:

 

varlenght = Len(txtKeypad.Text) - 1

txtKeypad = mid(txtkeypad.text,1,varlength)

 

I use mid() for trimming of spaces and grabbing certain info from a string. Alot easier in my opinion. Hope it helps.

Thanks slyprid!

 

Your sollution worked. I only I had to add the .Text to the txtKeypad because vb.net does not allow shortcuts like vb6.

 

Thanks again! :rolleyes:
